Mykindaplace caught up with Sarah Whatmore in a Q&A, asking the ‘Pop Idol’ season one semi-finalist if she tried to distance herself from the “reality star” label. “That’s never going to happen because it is part of my history,” the ‘Smile’ singer responded. “I don’t regret it because everyone has to start somewhere and I could have gone down the root of doing magazine shoots but I didn’t want to do that. I’m hoping once this album comes out people will see me in a different light though.” The full story at mykindaplace.com has since been removed.

‘Pop Idol’ season one semi-finalist Sarah Whatmore checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (August 21) with the following message:
